Hotel is small only 5 rooms. Next to Manta bay resort where the two have a tie up though owned seperately. The service is good. Rooms though are small and bathrooms very small like a liveaboard. But they provide everything. They have a coffee maker with good coffee tea sugar coffee mate milk powder. Water in fridge etc. nice overall but small.
My wife and I paid for 3 nights, meeting the waiting driver with my printed name sign at YAP Airport arriving at 1:15AM and to this hotel at 2AM.
Prepared reception made check in quick and easy, filling out a short form, collecting the key and following the driver carrying our bag.
Room #2 was quaint like a cottage and constructed like a ship cabin with nooks and crannies to fill every need and enlightened by numerous mirrors. With a wood floor and close ceiling, it accommodates a comfortable king, a sink area with hot pot, coffee/tea, refer w/water, cabinet TV with vast streaming channels, secure room wifi and a super quiet wall AC. A front door opened to a tight toilet(floor wet with water leak) and shower room and a back glass door opened to an overwater deck with a table and 2 chairs.
There is a small library with AC/fireplace and an exquisite bar/lounge.
We walked 200m south to the outdoor Yap Living Museum, the excellent CO OP grocery and Ganir Restaurant and we walked 100m north to the 1898 “Mnuw” sea hawk ship restaurant and an Asian Store beyond.
We were very pleased with this friendly, quiet hotel which included airport transfers, nice accommodation and 24 hour reception. Nearly a 5*.
Small and private with beautiful view of the bay as the rooms overlook. While there is no restaurant inside the hotel, food can be brought in and staff are so accommodating to heat it. It is walking distance to grocery stores and restaurant, easily accessible.
Staff service is excellent, as taxi is limited on saturday afternoon, we were driven. I was also driven to my series of meeting.
As the place is quiet, one can hold a meeting in the patio near the bay. The bed is comfortable, I slept well
Easy and reliable booking with fast e-mail answers. We had an amazing stay in this wonderful house with cosy room. Very friendly and helpful staff. Easy to reach restaurants and you can find a dive shop or further options in the hotel nearby.
My wife and I stayed here in Late September 2023. Rooms were clean and comfortable, and the décor was very pleasing. But that’s to be expected. What really impressed us were the staff, giving service that was exemplary. When my wife lost her phone, not only did the staff call the places we had been, but one of them drove to all those places while we waited and physically checked for us! Also, fishing off the private balcony in our room during high tide at 2 AM with the mini rods we brought with us and then BBQing our catch on the main deck was so cool! The staff were genuinely friendly, from pickup from the airport to our final checkout. We have been to a lot of places around the world, but the genuineness of the staff was above and beyond what we expected. If I could give 6 stars I would.
